DDisk Write Decimate Lock Controls: DDisk Dialog >> Decimate Lock
By default, DDisk files are recorded at the full Sample Rate, even if Decimate is active. This allows you to toggle Decimate or change the Decimate Factor (or the equivalent Decimate Rate), or even toggle special modes like Envelope during the recording. These changes only affect the way the data is displayed, not the way it is saved. With Decimate Lock active when the DDisk recording starts, all the Decimate controls are locked in their current states, and the recording saves only decimated data at the Decimate Rate. This can result in a huge savings in file size when the Decimate Factor is large. Note, however, that you can't undo the decimation later, when the file is opened, as you can if the file is saved without Decimate Lock. In general, Decimate Lock makes sense for most slow "chart recorder" operations, where Trigger is off and data scrolls across the screen at a few hundred samples per second or slower. Consider that at one sample per second, a whole day can be monitored with only 24 * 60 * 60 = 86400 samples per channel. Compare that to a normal 48000 samples per second, which would consume over 4 Gigasamples per channel. (And which at 2 bytes per sample would exceed the 4 GB limit imposed by the Microsoft RIFF .WAV format, which is also used by Daqarta's own .DQA files.) Macro Notes: DDiskDecimate=1 sets Decimate Lock mode, DDiskDecimate=0 cancels it, and DDiskDecimate=x toggles the current mode. See also Direct-To-Disk (DDisk) Toggle, DDisk Controls Dialog |
